Chu Wuyou passed out in a second.
“Chu Wuyou.” This caught Ye Lanchen by surprise and he hugged her closer immediately. Emotions chased over his features in quick succession. She was all good a couple of seconds ago. Why had she passed out all of a sudden?
“What’s wrong?” Tang Ling dashed to her side. He, someone who was normally calm and never revealed his emotions easily, appeared genuinely worried upon discovering the woman’s condition.
This showed that he truly cared about Chu Wuyou and that the woman was really special to him.
Ye Lanchen could not be bothered about other things at this moment. He lifted the woman into his arms and intended to rush toward the door. His first instinct was to deliver her to the hospital, completely forgetting about Second Young Master Zhuo, who had just arrived.
Second Young Master Zhuo was a doctor. In fact, he showed up later this evening because of a unique operation that took longer than expected. “Hurry, let Second Elder Brother have a look.” Lil Seven was the first to suggest that.
“Come and examine her.” As if suddenly being shocked back to reality, Ye Lanchen urged Second Young Master Zhuo to pick up his pace.
She had fainted so suddenly and unexpectedly that everyone was extremely worried.
Second Young Master Zhuo looked at Ye Lanchen with surprise. Was this the Lil Three that he knew? Since when had this man become so impatient?
Where had his usual steady and calm demeanor gone?
The girl in his embrace was blushed red. She seemed fine at first glance.
“She’s drunk.” Second Young Master Zhuo approached the crowd and came to the conclusion within seconds.
No one dared to question Second Young Master Zhuo’s medical skills, therefore they did not doubt his diagnosis even if he did not inspect further.
However, one baffling thought lingered in the air; when had Chu Wuyou consumed alcohol?
“Drunk?” Ye Lanchen, who was stunned, failed to regain his composure for a few moments. How could she be drunk without drinking? He was the one who had been drinking, so why was she the one that got drunk?
Ye Lanchen was reminded of how he had transferred the mouthful of alcohol to her. Could it be possible that she became drunk because of that little sip?
How bad was her alcohol tolerance?
“When did Third Elder Sister-in-law drink alcohol? I’ve been standing by her side and I didn’t see it. I’m certain that she didn’t drink any alcohol.” Lil Seven was not sceptical of his Second Elder Brother but he firmly believed what he saw.
“Lil Seven is right. Third Elder Sister-in-law didn’t drink any alcohol. She’s been playing mah-jong with us while we waited for you.” Fifth Young Master Shen also commented.
“She didn’t drink but someone else did.” Second Young Master Zhuo smiled lightly as he shifted his attention toward Ye Lanchen.
When he arrived, he witnessed the latter kissing her after drinking. It was possible that the man had transferred the alcohol in his mouth to her.
“You can get drunk from that?” This caught Fifth Young Master Shen by surprise. Seriously? Her alcohol tolerance must be terrible.
“She’s probably one of those people who are allergic to alcohol. They could get dizzy from smelling it and, perhaps, would pass out completely after consuming just a tiny sip. Evidently, she’s been forced-fed alcohol by someone. Second Young Master Zhuo did not forget to look toward Ye Lanchen again.
“Is she going to be alright then?” Ye Lanchen was worried upon being told about her allergy.
“She’ll most likely be fine after a good rest. Best case scenario, she could sleep through the night peacefully.” Second Young Master Zhuo paused in his speech, and began grinning from ear to ear when he turned to face Ye Lanchen again. “But there might be an exception.”
